Hulu Sets Premiere Date For ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ – TCA

The Handmaid’s Tale is set to return for season three on Wednesday, June 5, with three new episodes, and subsequent shows released every Wednesday, Hulu announced today.

The 13-episode third season of the drama series will follow June’s resistance to the dystopian regime of Gilead and her struggle to strike back against overwhelming odds.

Viewers can expect to see startling reunions, betrayals, and a journey to the terrifying heart of Gilead that will force all characters to take a stand, guided by one defiant prayer: “Blessed be the fight.”

A new teaser trailer for Season 3 debuted during Super Bowl LIII, and painted a bleak, fire-filled picture of Gilead. The trailer was similar in tone to Ronald Reagan’s jarring 1984 “It’s Morning in America” presidential campaign ad.

The Handmaid’s Tale comes to Hulu from MGM Television and is created, executive produced and written by Bruce Miller.
